Levi’s the best!

by

This podcast rocks socks. Listening to fellow artists from my community oddly deal with their own lives with excitement with their weird points of view is the best. In other news, the cover art is swell.

Good stuff.

I’ve listened to my share of podcasts. I’ve produced and hosted a podcast. I can spell the word podcast. Levi is doing it right. He talks to interesting, creative people about things that matter. Interviews can bore listeners to death, but every episode Levi and his guests manage to inspire.
